A Multi-Country Study on the Education of Migrant Children

Mobility is an important characteristic of modernity. It is very important for the researchers and practitioners to understand the needs and challenges of migrant children in various contexts. The country reports included in this project describe the nature and circumstances of migrant children population in seven countries: China, Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, Finland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Each country report describes the broad context, education rights, successful initiatives, and makes policy recommendations. The second part analyzes and compares some of the most salient issues in the chapters. Governments have the opportunity to make policy decisions that could support migrant children, making societies more just and prosperous.
